(HBO) - In collaboration with the provincial Cooperatives, Quang Minh Cooperative of Tourism Transport has launched a pilot operation of 4 wheel electric vehicles to transport tourists to visit Mai Chau district. There were Mr. Nguyen Quang Thang, the Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee and representatives of some related departments attending the ceremony.
With the advantage of famous cultural and
ecological tourism and craft village, in the recent years, Mai Chau has always
been an attractive tourist destination for domestic and international tourists
to visit and relax. In 2018, Mai Chau district has welcomed over 332,000
visitors, including 132,500 international visitors and nearly 200,000 domestic
visitors, the total revenue of tourism is estimated at over 107.6 billion VND.
The development of tourism has also brought many shortcomings, especially many
homestays and individuals have massively bought 4 wheel electric vehicles
without registration for passenger transport, at a time in the district there
are over 100 passenger cars. Due to that fact, on November 26th, Mai
Chau district officially decided to set up Quang Minh Cooperative with 7
members obtaining electric cars to serve tourists traveling in short distances
to the tourist destinations in Chieng Chau commune and Mai Chau town.
The leaders of Mai Chau district and related
departments cut off the opening band of the electric car service.
To congratulate Quang Minh Cooperative of
Tourism and Transport, Mr. Nguyen Quang Thang, the Vice Chairman of the
District People's Committee, requested the participating units to fully comply
with the provisions of the law on land road traffic; vehicles must be
registered, registry and meet all technical safety conditions, the driver must
also have a driving license as prescribed. They must not conflicts for
passengers, the fare will be collected as prescribed and they must absolutely
ensure traffic safety and environmental sanitation. Relevant agencies and units
need to be facilitated and identify stopovers, picking up and parking lots to
ensure the interests of cooperatives operating in accordance with current
regulations.
The delegates are experiencing the service of
4-wheel drive of Quang Minh Cooperative of Tourism and Transport.
This is a clean, fuel-efficient,
environmentally friendly transport vehicle. The operation of 4 wheel
electric-powered cars is currently of great interest to many local people. It
not only reduces environmental pollution, builds a civilized and modern tourism
image but also creates jobs for the local people. Moreover, it contributes to
overcoming the chaos in the management of electric cars today.
Hoa Binh has taken measures, focusing on removing barriers in terms of mechanism, policy, infrastructure, and upgrading technical infrastructure facilities serving tourism and the quality of human resources, to promote tourism development in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
Over the past time, Da Bac has deployed measures to lure more domestic and foreign visitors to the locality, aiming to turn tourism into the district’s economic spearhead.
Covering an area of over 52,000 hectares spanning districts of Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Cao Phong, Da Bac, and Hoa Binh City, Hoa Binh lake has strong potential for tourism development. In recent years, thanks to the attention of local Party Committees and authorities as well as support from international organisations, the advantages of tourism in the lake area have been utilised.
Mai Chau is a mountainous district and home to many ethnic groups such as Thai, Muong, Kinh, Mong, Dao, and Tay with distinctive cultural identities, creating a diverse and unique cultural treasure. Aware of its advantages, the district has paid attention to the preservation and promotion of ethnic groups’ cultural values so that culture will become a leverage for tourism and contribute to socio-economic development and life quality improvement.
